Superstar Shahrukh Khan is everyone’s favorite. There is a unique opportunity for King Khan’s fan to buy a portrait of SRK and hang it on the wall of their drawing room. In one of the biggest online art auctions of Indian contemporary art, Shahrukh’s portrait designed by Rashid Rana will be auctioned online.

The portrait is unique in the sense that his image is formed out of a collage of faces of common people with visible cracks between each. He wants to relate him to common men, not only popular in the local arena but also well known among the global audiences. Rashid chose Shahrukh to be on his canvas as he is very famous in Pakistan and people like him a lot. Rashid said in his own words, “Shahrukh Khan is very popular in Pakistan. His hoardings are put up at many places. In fact, people aspire to visit his house in Lahore.”

Along with Rashid, the work of many notable artists like Subodh Gupta, Atul Dodiya, Anju Dodiya, Jitish Kallat, Baiju Parthan and Sudarshan Shetty among others will be auctioned. Apart from SRK’s portrait, Atul Dodiya’s Vansha Vriksha, Surendra Nair’s Doctrine of the Forest and Shibu Natesan’s 'Each One Teach One' are expected to go high. Rashid’s montage of the superstar is expected to go up to Rs. 6 lakhs. So, without wasting any time, grab the unique opportunity.
